Also, if there's any team I can see that will finally come in and steal one at the Garden it's the Pistons. Only way Boston wins is if they consistently get great play from Pierce like game 7. Garnett was little off, but nonetheless a monster on the boards.
But you never know, the Cavs though theya ren't as good a defensive team than Detroit, played great this series. If Allen isn't held to so little opportunities and great defense, maybe his re-addition will put the Green back in the Finals.
Anotehr factor to look at is this is a much different team from the Cavs, who mostly rely on LeBron for their offense, this Pistons team however has multiple scorers and will require more of a team D than just good play from Pierce/Posey.

Well, the layoff was exactly what the Pistons needed. Chauncey Billups should be completely healthy. I'm not saying the Pistons will be winning games by double digits, but I don't think a few bounces going one way or the other is going to be the difference between who plays in the Finals and who's not, if you know what I'm saying.
